Updated:8 years, 1 month ago

Nagoya (Japan), May 10 (ANI): Amid the record-breaking tourism boom in Japan, the country is taking sophisticated approach to help with its inbound travelers. ORIX is one of the largest financial service providers in Japan and is spearheading these efforts by launching an interactive Smartphone service which offers foreign tourists fun and easy access to local travel information in multiple languages. Typically, each regional district would take different approaches to introduce regional attractions to visitors. But with this new service that Orix developed, a standard platform using the latest technology can be used across the country in cooperation with each region. One of the popular tourist spots benefiting from Orix’s service is the town of Arimatsu which is considered to be the historical center of Japanese tie-dying workmanship in the city of Nagoya. This traditional tie-dying method began in 1608 and its iconic indigo monotone made it a popular fabric for summer kimonos worn by ordinary people. There are over 100 different methods of Arimatsu tie-dying and it’s used for dyeing silk, cotton, and synthetics. The service is expected to expand into 70 different regions across Japan by September this year. The country’s hospitality is taking on a new form in the era of mobile technology.
